New software puts real-time drilling monitoring in reach

HOUSTON -- Proactive Real Time Systems (PRTS) has launched its new software product called the Real-Time Advisory System (RTAS).

RTAS has been under development for more than a year and is designed to offer an improved and scalable solution for utilization of wellsite information transfer standard markup language (WITSML) information from any source involved in measuring and monitoring wellsite operations. In addition to state of the art IT architecture and security, the software offers a unique physics-based analysis of well conditions. This analysis results in timely predictive watches that avoid the common problem of many existing real-time systems—notification after an undesired event occurs, often too late to mount an effective response.

Historically, teams have had to struggle with gathering, analyzing, and using WITSML data in an effective way. The software was designed to solve the problems teams have encountered, with previous real-time IT systems–ease of use, team collaboration, cost, and effectiveness. Monitoring can be done with any internet enabled device including laptops, tablets, and smart phones.
